How often is the dog park good for dogs?
My 6 month AB/Lab mix LOVES going to the dog park. We take her a couple times a week. But my husband wants to take her more often, I'm personally afraid she will pick up bad habits.
I have heard other dog owners say that their dog has become defensive or aggressive after incidents at a dog park. She has such a sweet and mild tempermant now and I worry she will change having too much interaction with some of these dogs. What do you think?
Answer: Every day is fine, but maybe choose a time of day that's not as busy (if that's possible). The only "bad habits" my dogs ever picked up at the dog park were REALLY good sleeping habits from all the exercise.
